MOCK EXAMS FOR SCIENCE PRACTICAL
END OF PAPER
Note: The above answers had been hurriedly worked out by Mr Teng, our H2 Math tutor.
——————————————————————————————-
Errata: question 7(iii)
This question is really confusing due to the word “before”. However, after much discussions, Mr Teng concludes that he is wrong. The answer should be n=12. If you put the emphasis on how many MUST be cut off, 12 will be the correct answer. If you’re my student, you will know that my English is terrible. Haha.
Question 6(iii)) should λ = 8μ/7.
Question 9(iii) due to the lousy app should be 24n.
Disclaimer: Question 3
The line y=1 was drawn as part of my solution to (ii). So long as the diagram is clearly labeled, there should be no issues.
Any more issues, please let me know. Lastly, big thank-you to all the j1 and j2s who helped me clarify and explain the English behind the statement. And do watch out this space for P2!

(1) What to do if your A-level results are bad …
(2) A-Level Results: What to do if you get BAD or DEAD, i.e., the ‘middle class’
(3) Beware the critical years in math education …

Sec 4 A. Math Reflections 02/02/13 – Higher Derivative
Today I taught them the Higher Derivatives, using displacement, velocity and acceleration as real-life examples. I chose not to introduce the 2nd derivative as a means to test whether a turning point is a maximum or minimum, as I preferred to do that when teaching the application of differentiation in tangents and normals at a point in a curve.
Points to note:
(1) students must not write the 2nd derivative as dy^2/dx^2;
(2) d^2y/dx^2 is not the same as (dy/dx)^2;
(3) d^2y/dx^2 is the same as f”(x) or f^2(x);
(4) there may be product rule, quotient rule or chain rule involved when finding the higher derivatives.

My (our) students’ O-Level (2012) results released in 2013
Ok la, this year I shall break tradition by posting whichever results my last year’s students inform me of. One has just come in. I will update throughout the week as I get more results (sometimes students are just forgetful).
Physics: Luke, A2 (from b4 avg, failed in sec 3 (his mum just told me), St Pat’s sch, Farkhanda, B3 (from fail avg)
Chemistry (under Mr Anthony): Charmaine A2; Bandar A2; Luke, B3; Farkhanda, B4. (from fail avg)
Science: Ben, B3.
A. Math: Ameerul, C5 (from fail avg, Yuhua sec); Loges, B3 (from C5-C6 avg, ACS(I)); Ravin, B3 (from fail avg); Rahim, B3 (from C5-C6 avg); Jin Yong, A1 (from B4 avg); Farkhanda, B3 (from fail avg).
Math: Ali Zul, B3 (from C5-C6 avg); Colin, B3 (from C5)
This year, I shall also break tradition in another way, by posting a testimonial from a student, Ravin. Below is the exact words that he smsed to me at 10.06 am on 11 Jan 2013:
“My plan is to do engineering. More to aerospace or aeronautical. I will put my first few choices as that the rest I’m still thinking. Last choice will be MI. Yes Mr Ilyasa, a lot of improvement. I did not put in a lot of effort for A-math and my sci in secondary school. In fact I was failing but I’m happy to see that I got Bs and A for my math and sci but it’s really disappointing to see a 6 for EL. Thank you for your help Mr Ilyasa. You make lesson so fun and you taught me a lot. : ) “
Well, he taught me a lot too.
Waiting for more updates from more students …..
